Culture, Christianity, Catholic Dogma & The Death Of
The West

With the alarming
news that Pope Francis is now attempting to
alter Christ's teachings and inviting
sacrilegious communion via telephone calls I
propose the following response of St Jerome …

A letter of St Jerome to Amandus of Bordeaux (394), a
presbyter seeking advice on pastoral matters.

"I find
joined to your letter of inquiries a short paper
containing the following words: “ask him, (that is
me, St Jerome) whether a woman who has left her
husband on the ground that he is an adulterer and
sodomite and has found herself compelled to take
another may in the lifetime of him whom she first
left be in communion with the church without doing
penance for her fault.”...Tell the sister...,who thus
enquires of me concerning her condition, not my
sentence but that of the Apostle.

“Know
ye not, brethren (for I speak to them that know the
law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as
long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an
husband is bound by the law to her husband, so long
as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is
loosed from the law of her husband. So then, if,
while her husband liveth, she be married to another
man, she shall be called an adulteress.”And in
another place:“the
wife is bound by the law as long as her husband
liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty
to be married to whom she will; only in the
Lord.”( 1 Cor
7:39)

"Thus the apostle has thus cut away every plea and
has clearly declared that, if a woman marries again
while her husband is living, she is an adulteress.
You need not tell me tales about an assailants
physical violence, a mother's wheedling, a father's
heavy hand, or about the swarm of relatives, the
trickery and insolence of servants, the losses to
household property. As long as her husband lives,
even though he may be an adulterer, a homosexual, a
man stained with every crime and divorced by his wife
because of his misdeeds, he still ranks as her
husband and she may not marry another. It is not the
Apostle who decides this on his own authority; it is
Christ speaking through him. Paul is simply echoing
the words of Christ, who tells us in the
Gospel:Whoever
puts away his wife, save on account of immorality,
causes her to commit adultery; and he who marries a
woman who has

been
put away, commits adultery (MT
5:32)

"Notice what he says:"He
who marries a woman who has been put away, commits
adultery."Whether
she has parted from her husband or whether he has
parted from her, whoever marries her is an adulterer.
That explains why the Apostles, as soon as they
realize the heavy burden of matrimony,
exclaim:"If
the case of a man with his wife is so, it is not
expedient to marry."Our Lord
answers them:"Let
him accept it who can",((MT 19:
10,12) and holding up the example of the three
eunuchs, He immediately shows the blessedness of
virginity, which is not fettered by any bond of the
flesh…

"If this sister of yours, then….wishes to receive the
Body of Christ and not to be branded an adulteress,
she must do penance. At least from the moment she
embarks upon a different course of life, all further
marital relations with her second husband must cease.
It would be more correct to call him adulterer than
husband. If she finds this difficult and is unable to
desert a man to whom she has given her love, if
sensual pleasures takes preference over our Lord, let
her note the Apostle's declaration:"You
cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of the
devils. You cannot be partakers of the table of the
Lord, and the of the table of devils"(1 Cor
10:21) And He says again:"What
fellowship has light with darkness? What harmony is
there between Christ and Belial?(2 Cor
6:14, 15)

"Therefore I beg you to comfort her and urge her to
seek salvation. Flesh that is diseased must be cut
away and cauterized. It is not the treatment but the
wound that is to blame if the surgeon shows a
merciful severity which spares by not sparing and is
cruel only to be kind." St Jerome

"But
though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a
gospel to you besides that which we have
preached to you, let him be anathema." Galatians
1:8.
There are so many Judases in the Church today who are
either unwittingly or willingly working to bring
about the Passion of the Roman Catholic Church and to
ultimately crucify Her. Take heart though--God has
placed each one of us in these tumultuous and brutal
last days to be salt and light. Lukewarm Catholics
will be trampled and overcome by the prince of this
world. Each of us must take a stand and pray to
obtain the faith, hope and charity that the martyrs
possessed. We must strip ourselves of every
attachment to this world so that we can stand strong
against those who would invoke our indiscriminate
obedience to those who seek the destruction of the
Bride of Christ.
As a background
Fr. Guarnizo was approached by a very manly
woman in the sacristy prior to her mother's funeral
who proudly introduced her lesbian lover to him.
Based upon this open and proud admission, he warned
her not to present herself for communion. Of course
she did so anyway. The lesbian told the Washington
Post that Guarnizo “put his hand over the body of
Christ and looked at me and said,‘I can’t give you
communion because you live with a woman and in the
eyes of the church that is a sin.’”She then went
to his bishop and the media. Now read and weep what
his apostate bishop has done to him:

"Sadly, after Mass
this evening, I received
word that Fr. Guarnizo's assignment at
St. John Neuman Parish has been withdrawn and he has
been placed on administrative leave with his priestly
faculties removed. The notification was signed
by Monsignor Knestout, Vicar General and Moderator of
the Curia for the Archdiocese of Washington,
D.C.. The reason stated for the suspension is
that Monsignor Knestout has received several
complaints against Fr. Guarnizo claiming intimidating
behaviour on his part against parish staff and
others, and 'that is incompatible with proper
priestly ministry.'

The letter dated March 9, 2012 written by Bishop
Barry C. Knestout, chief of staff to Cardinal Donald
Wuerl, who heads the Archdiocese states as follows:

"Dear Brother Priest,

I write to inform you that effective today, Father
Marcel Guarnizo’s assignment at St. John Neumann
Parish is withdrawn and he has been placed on
administrative leave with his priestly faculties
removed until such time as an inquiry into his
actions at the parish is completed,” Bishop Knestout
said in his March 9 letter.

“This action was taken after I received credible
allegations that Father Guarnizo has engaged
inintimidating behaviortoward parish staff
and others that is incompatible with proper priestly
ministry,”

“Given the grave nature of these allegations, and in
light of the confusion in the parish and the concerns
expressed by parishioners, Father Guarnizo is
prohibited from exercising any priestly ministry in
the Archdiocese of Washington until all matters can
be appropriately resolved, with the hope that he
might return to priestly ministry.”

Sincerely in Christ
Most Reverend Barry C. Knestout
Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia"

"But yet

you, faith on earth?"Luke 18:8 A very sick and
sad descent...

FromGlobe and
Mail: "A Quebec
mayor’s crusade to preserve a prayer and Catholic
symbols at his council meetings has come up
against a backlash, some of it channelled through
YouTube.

A secular group has served the outspoken mayor of
Saguenay, Jean Tremblay, with a lawyer’s letter
demanding that he obey a court order and immediately
stop reciting a prayer at the opening of council
meetings.

And a citizens’ collective in Saguenay, a city of
145,000 north of Quebec City, has launched a YouTube
video in which people appear one by one to say the
religiously devout mayor isn’t speaking in their
name. The group, Citoyens pour la démocratie à
Saguenay, said the mayor is inflaming tensions by
launching a campaign to preserve the prayer.

“If we want to be open as a society and get everyone
to participate, we have to keep our institutions
secular,” said Stéphane Dufour, a spokesman for the
group. “We didn’t elect Mr. Tremblay for his
religious convictions.”

Saguenay has become the latest flashpoint in the
debate over religion in an increasingly diverse and
secular province. A Quebec rights tribunal last month
ordered the mayor and the city to pay an atheist
$30,000 in damages after he complained about a brief
prayer recited at the outset of council meetings. The
tribunal also ordered the removal of a crucifix and
statue of the Sacred Heart from council
rooms.READ MORE

How sad to see the
apostasy continues unabated while our Church
leaders betray Christ by defending notions of
religious indifferentism. The passion of the
Church must occur but woe to those men through
whom the betrayal occurs. It were better for
them, if they had not been born. Mark 14:21

(Lancashire, England)"A Roman Catholic
primary school could become the first in the country
to be run by a mosque after a dramatic rise in the
number of Muslim pupils, it emerged today.

"Church bosses want to close Sacred Heart RC Primary
School, in Blackburn, Lancashire, because the number
of Catholic students has plummeted from 91 per cent
to just three per cent in a decade.

"In what would be the first case of its kind in
Britain, the primary would be handed over to another
organisation to run - most likely the local Tauheedul
mosque - and re-opened with a new name.

"Around 95 per cent of the school's 200 pupils are of
Asian origin. Many do not speak English as their
first language and the majority follow the Islamic
faith.

"The Diocese of Salford has told Blackburn with
Darwen Borough Council that it no longer believes it
is “appropriate” for the church to be in charge.

(Reuters Life!)- Pope
Benedict will be confronted by posters on London's
famous red buses during his trip to the British
capital next month which will call for the
ordination of women priests.

Protests are planned throughout his four-day trip to
England and Scotland, the first papal visit since
John Paul II's pastoral visit in 1982 and the
first-ever official papal visit to Britain.

One group of women, Catholic Women's Ordination
(CWO), will have its message plastered on the side of
the buses as they travel along key routes, including
past Westminster Hall, at the Palace of Westminster,
where the pope is set to deliver a speech to
Britain's civic society on September 17.

The group has paid 15,000 pounds ($23,130) for 15
buses to carry the message "Pope Benedict - Ordain
Women Now!" for a month.

"We do not want to be disruptive, but I think the
church has got to change or it will not survive," CWO
spokeswoman Pat Brown told Reuters.READ MORE

I am publishing the
message of La Salette because it is so very
relevant to our times and the state of the
Church. Remember, this is a Church approved
apparation which was given by the Blessed Virgin
Mary to two children, Mélanie Calvat and Maximin
Giraud, on September 19, 1846, while they were
tending cattle on the mountain of La Salette,
France. This is the testimony published by
Melanie, the Shepherdess of La Salette with
Imprimatur by Mgr. Bishop of Lecce.
"On the 18th of September (1846), the eve of the Holy
Apparition of the Holy Virgin, I was alone, as usual,
watching over my Master’s cows. Around eleven o’clock
in the morning, I saw a small boy walking towards me.
I was frightened at this, for it seemed to me that
everyone ought to know that I avoided all kinds of
company. This boy came up to me and said:

"Little girl, I’m coming with you, I’m from Corps
too". At these words, the natural evil in me soon
showed itself, and taking a few steps back, I told
him: "I don’t want anybody around. I want to be
alone." But the boy followed me, saying: "Go on, let
me stay with you. My Master told me to come and watch
over my cows together with yours. I’m from Corps."

I walked away from him, gesturing to him that I
didn’t want anybody around, and when I was some
distance away, I sat down on the grass. There, I used
to talk with the little flowers of the Good Lord.

Milan,
Italy, Jul 29, 2009 / 04:12 pm(CNA).- Police in Milan
detained a Brazilian transsexual on Sunday after
he stripped naked in front of the altar during
Mass and began to attack the priest who was
presiding over the Mass.
The incident occurred at the Church of St. Babila at
the 8:30am Mass on Sunday.

According to ANSA news agency, the subject entered
the church and approached the altar, where he
stripped naked. “Afterwards he took a pole used by
the sacristan to close doors and approached the
celebrating priest. Several people in congregation
tried to stop him, and the man went to the baptismal
chapel and began striking a commemorative plaque full
of money, which he tried to steal.

Police arrested the Brazilian man and charged him
with theft, property damage, public disruption and
resisting arrest.

"...if we look through Europe we shall find on the whole
that just those nations and countries have lost their faith
in the divinity of Christ, who have given up devotion to
His Mother..."

is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also
by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or
alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of
spiritual corruption and cowardice."

the constant help of His grace to enlighten our darkened

of the New Testament are so much pious rhetoric or
